Romans 8:26, Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Remembering the first days of finding Preacher's pancreatic cancer; he had some stomach problems and so I took him in to see his primary care doctor. They sent us over to get an ultra sound on his gall bladder. It really took a long time and I was getting a little concerned. When my husband finally came out, he said they had to do a CAT scan of his pancreas because a little spot showed up on the screen. All the next few days were just a blur, trying to get to a hospital that could do a Whipple surgery meant going outside our network of insurance. The whole ordeal was a real challenge for us. But to make a long story short, we got to the hospital at 5:00 a.m.on the morning of the scheduled surgery and there was no record of it. So after several hours, and a lot of confusion, they got it straightened out. As he and I sat in the room, waiting for them to take him, it was all I could do to try to pray. It just wouldn't come out, there was just so much confusion and fear. But I now realize, that the Holy Spirit was making intercession for me, because I couldn't pray. I am so very thankful for a God that not only answers our prayers, He gives us the Holy Spirit to pray for us when we can't pray ourselves. Preacher came through the surgery, the insurance paid, and I got to keep that sweet man for twenty eight more months. How wonderful was that?
